Pool Accidents

Each day, about 10 people die in unintentional drownings across the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is the second leading cause of all unintentional injury deaths in children aged 1 to 14 years and the 7th leading cause of unintentional injury death for all ages. This number is alarming since there are 8.8 million residential and public-use pools in the United States.

Many of these injuries and deaths are caused by someone else’s negligence and could have been prevented. Always supervise young children while swimming, boating or even bathing in the bath tub. Do not dive in shallow water. Avoid alcohol and drug use while swimming or boating. Wear a life preserver while boating. These minor suggestions could save your life or the life of your children.
